My Department expended Euro 8.3 million in 2006 and Euro 10.6 million in 2007 under the National Disability Strategy on accessibility improvements to existing public transport infrastructure and facilities. For this year the allocation is Euro 14.0 million. This is in addition to the significant resources being provided under Transport 21 to ensure that accessibility is built into new public transport infrastructure and rolling stock as a matter of course.
